You really have to tow the line between being watchful for things that could be compulsions, and being hyper vigilant about catching every single one! The first is good, the second in and of itself can be a compulsion. I swear, every week I discover that some random thing I do has been a minor compulsion all along so it’s an ongoing process!

Its an ongoing process,,but as long as you recognize the compulsions you do regularly and catch them you can work on them:) no pressure to perform perfect or anything

Absolutely is because you end up getting some kind of reassurance by talking about it.

Ocd
Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.

Sharing intrusive thoughts/urges with partners
Last night I had a fucked up intrusive thought/urge about harming my partner and I'm spinning out today. I let them know I had an intrusive thought and was struggling with compulsions around it and future repercussions, but did not tell them exactly what the thought/urge was, which they accepted. Do y'all share details with your partners about harm ocd? How can we healthily ask for support from people we are having horrible thoughts about?

Does confessing an intrusive thought just make it come back stronger?
